Webinar: (2017-05) Introduction to Research Misconduct for IACUC, IRB, and IBC Professionals


Research misconduct can have a negative impact on researchers and research institutions. It is essential that research and oversight professionals understand how to recognize and report misconduct, and be aware of what investigations by various regulatory agencies can entail.
